Posted And now...we're home. to EDHD 3100 - South Africa: Tracing the Footsteps of Social Change 2011/12
This is my last blog for our South Africa trip. I actually tried typing it the other night, but when I'm at home in good ol' Hutchinson, I steal wireless from the neighbors :). And apparently there is karma because I had finished my last blog and really enjoyed what I had written and I was kicked off of the internet....and it didn't save my blog...or upload it to this site.

Even though it was very hard to see, it was an...

Hi Guysss! This is my second blog that I have written for class and it will be my first one while I'M IN AFRICA.

Hi Everyone!So this is my first blog for South Africa....actually, this is my first blog I have written ever! Big deal, I know, but I hope for everyone who reads this, I hope it is a learning experience. Not just for myself, but for the people reading it, that you will begin to understand what I go through and what we, as a group experience in our adventure to South Africa together. :) There are so many reasons why I chose to go to South Africa this winter break. I don't think I could fit it into a single paragraph,...
